Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
3/8: finishing
...Kalynn Bayron's This Wicked Fate this morning. I was prompted to read it by the Black Magical History Month celebration sponsored by Black Nerds Create. I'm a little bummed that I didn't manage to finish the novel *during* Black Magical History Month, but such is life. The timing ended up being fortuitous in another way, though: in Myth class on Tuesday we talked about Hesiod's positive presentation of Hecate in the Theogony, and Bayron also presents the goddess positively, though perhaps toward different ends. It put me in the mood to write an essay, and that is another good thing.
